Brewster served as Senior Editorial Producer for ABC News and co-authored three books with the late Peter Jennings: The Century, The Century for Young People, and In Search of America. "The Century", a 600 page book on the history of the twentieth century was originally designed as a companion book for ABC's 1999 documentary series of the same name, but months before the series debuted, the book had already topped the New York Times Best Seller List. It remained near the top of the list for nearly a year and is believed to have sold more than 1.5 million copies, more than any "companion book" in publishing history.[1]
From 2004-2005, Brewster served as a Knight Fellow at Yale Law School and from 2005-2006 as Distinguished Visiting Professor of Government at Wesleyan University.[2]
He has written extensively on constitutional issues and is the Director of the National Constitution Center's The Peter Jennings Project for Journalists and the Constitution.[3] Brewster has written for Vanity Fair, Time, and The New York Times. A native of Indianapolis Indiana, he was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame.[4]
Today, Brewster is the Director of the United States Military Academy's West Point Center for Oral History[5] and the Don E. Ackerman Director of Oral History for West Point. He is currently writing a book about Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation.
